Chris Ross, WSU Student Association Business and Economics senator, drafted the referendum in response to the disqualification of two of the candidates from the WSU Student Association student elections; seven other students were disqualified for various reasons. The two candidates who applied for the Students with Disabilities senator position were disqualified for not being enrolled in 12 credit hours this semester. The WSU Student Association Supreme Court later reinstated them because they will register for 12 credits during the upcoming fall and spring semesters. The amendment, which is titled "Constitutional Eligibility," reforms Article II of the WSU Student Association Constitution. Under the referendum, students registered with the WSU Services for Students with Disabilities would be considered full-time students if the number of credits they are registered for meets their capabilities.
